First drive this morning. I was a bit inebriated when it was dropped off last night. My car is SICK!!! The B&O sounds so good, that I don't even care what's on, frankly I just like the exhaust note! Now I'm a forum member!

Not until you post pics of the car in you ownership Only kidding...WELCOME & Congratulations. It is really awesome to see & hear someone so excited about getting a Mustang.

i am so ready to see the pictures!

Now I'm legit! I am so in love with this car, she's a rolling piece of artwork! It is going to be REALLY hard to properly break-in the car. And now I need to figure out all of the tech. Found the traction control button! LOL!

And now, the best part of owning an S550, It's a chick magnet!

It looks awesome, enjoy it to the max. Just use common sense for break in. The miles will go by pretty quick.
The tech is not that hard but you might want to lay off using the TC button for awhile.
Are you thinking of blacking out the emblems?

Couldn't help myself with the TC, but I'll leave it alone for now. The car is staying bone-stock, but blacking out the emblems is an excellent idea!

From an old M6G post. That red dot in the 5.0 will match your Showstopper Red.

And I guess now everyone knows my dealer. For the record, they treated me extremely well!

Thanks man! That deck-lid badge is sweet! Nice ride. So since I'm a completely newbie, can you share a link (or some knowledge) with me about doing up your badges?

so from what ive read online is that they do not offer the black badges that have the alignment pins( i bought mine from ford and they didn't have them even) so basically i just used painters tape to go around my stock fender badges(holds location) then used fishing line removed my OEM badges and cleaned the double sided tape residue off, if you decide to do this keep in mind the OEM badges do have alignment pins so the fishing line will catch on it. once its all cleaned up where the OEM badge was located you can place the new badge in the taped off area and level it inside the "tape box" so it covers the holes in the fender. the rear deck lid badge requires you to buy a blank deck lid and the badge separately then just measure to center it. the badge on the OEM deck lid is held on by plastic rivets on the backside of the deck lid so removing it would leave multiple holes. im not the best at explaining things haha but heres some links for all the badges.
